Delicious! No off notes. I used a food processor, btw.
I just used this as a base recipe. I substituted Teriyaki sauce for the soy and added a whapp of Chinese hot mustard. It’s a keeper!
This came out great as written, I added a teaspoon each of sesame oil and ground cayenne pepper after tasting it since I personally enjoy those flavors in Asian cuisine and prefer some heat on the tongue. I recommend trying this recipe both ways, but your family and guests will thoroughly enjoy either version.
Easy, Quick, and Good!
I didn’t have soy sauce on hand so subbed it out for hoisin sauce using same measurements and it was to die for it wasn’t as salty bc of the soy ! By far my favorite dressing
I didn’t have sesame oil, so I left it out. Also was out of rice vinegar, so i used white. I used ground ginger and doubled everything. Bitter!!!! Wayyyy too much soy sauce. I ended up adding about a cup of brown sugar and some salt, then then to make a creamier dressing without peanut butter,(nut allergy), I used a stand mixer to beat in a few large spoons of Mayo. Turned out great.
Love this dressing! Besides on salads, I also use it as a marinade for veggies and tofu. Instead of olive oil, I use neutral grapeseed oil.
This was extremely salty. Not edible for my tastes.
This dressing has become my favorite. I just substituted low sodium soy sauce, chopped garlic in olive oil, and omitted the water. (If you like a little heat, grate half of a fresh jalapeño for a spicy kick) Great Dressing!
I added 2 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp hot oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder and 2 tsp of sesame seeds. I found that putting it in the refrigerator gets the olive oil hard, so I leave it out.
Been looking for a good salad dressing for my cabbage this will taste great. I also added less soy sauce about 1/3 a cup and it still tastes great
I have been replacing soy sauce with Coco Aminos — it’s the healthier option and has a sweeter taste and you can get it at any Asian Grocery Market.
This is super nice, I used 3/4 cups vegetable oil and 2 Tsp of Sesame oil. I also added more soy (about 1/4 cup more) and more vinegar (about 1/4 cup) as it was a bit too sweet for my liking. I also added another heaped tablespoon of crushed ginger. The best we have tried yet.
I used half a cup of olive oil and a quarter cup of sesame oil to give it a little more Asian flair. It seemed a little too oily. I think next time I will just do a quarter cup of each oil.
We like a little spice so I chopped up a Thai chili and oil and it did the trick!
The ginger was too strong and made it bitter.
Better than expected! Wondering how long this lasts though. Sister, mother and I really enjoy this dressing! Would make again 🙂
I reduced the olive oil to 1/2 cup and replaced the remaining 1/4 cup with sesame oil to get that nutty Asian flavor. I also replaced the soy sauce with Coconut aminos just because I didn’t have soy sauce on hand.I used sourwood honey which also has a very distinct strong flavor. Kathy H.
Even though I made slight changes to meet our dietary needs, this dressing is excellent and can’t wait to make it again! Less garlic. Some sesame oil…more ginger perhaps.
I really enjoy this dressing. I did use sesame oil instead of olive and added a little more vinegar for my taste. This is a great base for any Asian salads too.
Delicious!
